The average Populist is by circumstances
if not amusing when ho at-
tempts to assume the duties of a
politician and conduct a
simply absurdly
ridiculous. Two instances of this
have recently come to
our notice.
The chairman of the Populist
Executive committee Beaufort
county has called a to
meet in Washington, N- C-, on
September 4th, the purpose
of nominating
ticket From this it would
rally inferred that the Populists
in that vicinity are dissatisfied
with tho present Populist State
ticket and propose to put another
in the field. This will give them
two State tickets and
for the members of
that party to decide will be
whether will support the
Beaufort State ticket or
the one recently nominated in
Raleigh.
Another very amusing instance
of simplicity occurs in
a circular letter just issued,
a notice of a joint debate be

Buck at Smithfield on
August 28th- The letter refers
to Capt. Cooke as tho Con
from this and
is signed by Mr. Creech, chair-
man of the Populist Executive
Committee.
Though this is a prophecy
which will be proved to be
November, by a handsome
majority, yet it is just a little
amusing to see a Populist, who
usually claims the whole earth,
ad mitt it thus early in the
campaign, and he chairman of an
executive committee at that.
But he is perhaps level
headed than he is getting credit
for and is only acting the
scriptural injunction that an hon-
est confession is good for tho
soul. At any rate Mr. Cooke
will be the next Congressman

Will Electricity Dethrone Steam
There is no telling what

it is therefore interesting to fol-
low its developments in other
countries.
The Albany Argus predicts
that within six years the death-
knell of steam as a motive power
will be sounded. It believes that
the storage battery problem is
about solved, and this leads The
New York Press to say
seen tho
sudden development of the idea
of generating electricity cheaply
by water power and it
long economically by
wire. Various experiments in
Europe in the last half dozen
years, notably the transmission
of electrical power from to
Rome, have proved the feasibility
of the idea.
The harnessing of the
tails for this purpose has attracted
extraordinary and
rightly, for it marked the begin-
of tho new era of electricity,
but nearly a dozen other
can companies have quietly be-
gun work in the same direction in
the past twelve months, and the
total amount of horse-power they
are promising to supply in the
form of electricity as soon as
there is a demand for it is rough-
estimated at That
figure takes on amazing

that the total amount of steam

States at the present time is be-

It has been proved that the

are inclined to think the
loss of electricity in transmission
to a distance of, perhaps,
of miles can be sufficiently
reduced by processes now ready
for use to keep the cost below

The cotton grower is in a
lemma to know just how to get
his staple ready for market this
season. The New England millers
tell him not to put sugar sacks on
it but cover his bales with jute
bagging only. Then comes the
New York Cotton Exchange and
tells him sugar sacks just as
good as anything use them
if he wants to. He is advised by
writers in agricultural papers that
great loss arises from
of the bale exposed, that it
should be put small bales,
closely with an increased
number of ties. On tho of
this the Liverpool Cotton
sends him word to make
less than pound bales
use no side strips and put on as
little bagging as possible- With
so much advice tho farmer may
go on id the old way bale
his cotton to suit himself.

WASHINGTON LETTER,
our
Washington, D. C, August
The President has been a busy
man since his return to Washing-
ton, as this is the first
he has had to confer with
of the cabinet and
Democrats Congress since
tho tariff bill was to him, he
haying compelled by sick-
to leave the White House
soon after that measure was sent
there. At the cabinet meeting
hold yesterday the tariff bill was
thoroughly discussed in all its
and it is understood
that the cabinet was practically
unanimously in favor of allowing
the bill to become a law, and
of the members advised the
President to sign it at once.
of the cabinet will not. of
course, talk for publication, but
from other sources I learn that
tho President made no definite
and that it was in-
from his talk that he had
not mapped out his action to his
own satisfaction.
Representative Bryan, cf Ne-
who has more than a
fighting of being Senator
Bryan in near future, is an
ardent admirer and disciple of
Thomas Jefferson, the great
Democrat. During a recent
pilgrimage to Monticello. Mr.
Bryan conceived the idea of
the quota of plants
lotted to him as a member of tho
House, from the U. S. Botanical
Gardens, to be used in decorating
Jefferson's grave. Among the
plants to be to Monticello is
a sprig of ivy from a plant grown
from a sprig cut from the grave
of Robert Burns, the great Scotch
poet. By the way, pilgrimages
to the grave of Jefferson are be-
coming quite popular with Dem-
Vice President Stevenson
and Senator Hill were among tho
week's pilgrims. The hospitality
of Hon. Jefferson M. Levy, the
present proprietor of Monticello,
makes the pilgrimage as pleasant
as the surroundings make it pat-
Considerable surprise was felt
by Col. Stump. Superintendent of
Immigration, when he found that
several Democratic members of
the House objected to his bill for
the prevention of the coming of
alien anarchists into the United
States and for the deportation of
those already here- The bill was
passed by the without
objection and the attempt was
made to rush it through the
House by unanimous consent, in
order that it might become a law
in time to prevent the landing of
the French and Italian
who have been driven out
of countries by adverse
legislation and are said to be now
on their way to the United States
But action was prevented upon it
by the objection of Representative
Warner, of Now York City, and
in the absence of a quorum his
objection was effective. Mr. War-
objects to the bill because it
does not define
and because it gives the
Superintendent of Immigration
too much authority. Col. Stump
is now trying to get enough Re
to return to Wash-
to make a quorum, and If
he succeeds will endeavor to get

get the quorum the rest will be

There were two Republican
conventions here
day. One was called by J. H.
the Other by G. W.
Cox, both claiming to be the
chairman of the county executive
committee. The first convention
was bossed by J. J. B.
Cox and T. W. C- Moore- Some
speech making against fusion
advocacy of a straight Re-
publican ticket, and the selection
of delegates to the State, Con
and Judicial
was the sum total of their
proceedings-

A new political luminary, in the
person of a young man named
Cox, amused the crowd with a
speech and the
mightily, though the subjects he
discussed were in the main far
beyond their comprehension. At
the outset he offered the apology
that he had come to town not anti-
making a speech and was
totally unprepared, but the
use he made of manuscript
and clippings produced from
his pockets was a dead give
away on him- Ho was loaded for
the occasion.
The Democracy of old Pitt was
not hurt in the slightest by these
conventions.

The auctioneer of the Eastern,

Mr. J. L. Wiggins, of Rocky

make a strong team.
Hon. Goo. F. Parrot, of Lenoir

Thad R. Hodges, Esq., of
Washington was up with a fine
load of tobacco last week. He
always makes the Eastern
headquarters in Greenville.
He has a fine crop of tobacco,
consequently always gets good
prices.
The new leaf factory for the
American Tobacco Company is
nearing completion- Mr-
the buyer hopes to move in
nest week. Mr. Morgan is
ready buying liberally, but when
he gets in his now building we
expect him to bull the market.
All grades of tobacco are sell-
well, with of
tips, which are low, but all
tobaccos are selling well up. No
one seems to know just how long
the market will hold up or
it will go even higher- Tho
up country crop will have some-
thing to do in regulating prices
year. Ono advantage have,
raise all the brighter grades,
consequently we will regulate
prices on them- Greenville with
her liberal buyers will pay as
much for all grades as any

It could hardly have put

The fact is this primary

talk and excessive muddying of
the waters on both sides, the
autonomy of the county seems to
have been forgotten. The
ties elect their representatives
and they have tho right to in-
them as to their vote for
Senator as on other important
matters.
The election of United
Senator is too far from
the people. They know and feel
it and restive- A Senator
does not have that feeling, so
conducive to loyalty, of direct
responsibility to his party and
the people, and is tempted to for-
get his sovereigns- The closer
tho relationship the more faithful
the representative. The
underlying those county
primaries is a correct one- Under

Custom of Baptismal Christening and
Odd Results of Mistakes.
Down to the early part of tho
present century it was usual to
a child after the saint on whose day
he happened to be born. A writer
to Notes and Queries in 1853 states
that he had recently baptized a child
by tho name of Benjamin Simon
Jude. On his expressing some
prise at this somewhat singular con-
junction of names, he was informed
that the birth had taken place on
the festival of Simon and Jude.
and that it was always considered
very unlucky to take the day from a
child.
The custom of naming children
after any particular saint has fallen
into general disuse, except in those
countries the population is
almost entirely of Roman
Catholics. The giving of a name in
baptism Is really no essential part
of the rite, but is merely a custom
derived apparently from the Jews,
which through long practice has
become an Important element in Hie
ceremony.
Many instances might be fur-
of children who have
received wrong names.

contain the following

Over in Washington says
the Ashland Citizen, near
line of Mercer, reigns a being,
whether man or beast, mystifying
all the, neighborhood. For months
the housewives have missed their
chickens, eggs, milk, meat from
meat houses and half grown pigs
and young lambs. At first all
forts and schemes to catch the guilty
one proved of no avail.
White cap bands were organized,
and several suspected
whipped or shot. Some time ago
Jack told what he saw
from his spring house, and as
the story got circulated the children
and women were seared nearly out
of their The male portion of
the neighborhood, however,
put no credence in the story, but on
the quiet all set watch for the
being, and. on a recent
Wednesday morning Joseph
arose before daybreak and went to
the spring house, a hundred yards
distant from his dwelling.
His wife and nearly grown son, be-
coming alarmed at his continued ab-
went in search of him, and
found him at the door of the spring
house in a faint. They restored him
to consciousness, and he told them
he had seen Jack A man-beast,
and that he ran out of the spring
house as he opened the door; that he
had long while hair hanging down
from his head and face that was as
His legs were covered with hair,
and the only article of clothing he
wore was a piece of sheepskin over
the lover portion of his body, reach-
nearly to his knees. He said a
light came from his eyes and mouth
similar to fire.
When it noised around
that had seen man-
beast, sober-headed men began to
think and set a plan to catch the
monster, be it what it may. In tho
neighborhood near the mouth of
Deep creek is a cave of considerable
proportions, and the natural con-
of nearly all was that there
would be the place to find their
game.
In the meantime they, as a neigh-
were to keep watch for
sights of their man-beast, and early
the next Sunday morning Hos-
ton and his sons and James saw
the object of their watch walking in
gallop, half run for their barn.
Notwithstanding the men were
armed, they were badly frightened,
and after they saw the object enter
the barn all three were afraid to en-
to try and capture the terrible-
looking creature.
They kept hid, and were not seen
by the monster, standing in a half-
erect position nearly six and one-half
feet. His feet were like the claws of
a bear or brute, with long claws.
His hands also were like those of a
feline more than a human. The men
had only to wait a few minutes. In
fact, before they could come to some
action or gel over their fright the
creature came out of the barn in the
same halt-gallop-run and made
for the creek.
this time the men started in
safe pursuit. Tom Boston foolishly
shot at it, and the creature half
turned and glanced at them, in-
creasing his gait, but never dropping
the three large chickens he. hold in
his claws. The Bostons managed to
keep in sight of the creature for only
He or so, vowing that
he ran swifter than a horse. Just
as got to the top of a hill about
five hundred yards off they were re-
warded by seeing the brute-man
turn with a wild, scared look, glance
around and enter the cave.
. The men went to the mouth of the
cave, but would not enter. They
saw feathers, bones, etc, scattered
around the entrance. They returned
home and reported what they had
seen, and Tuesday they, with a half
dozen other men, went to the cave
and made a partial survey, pro
in several hundred yards.
They saw fresh indications of
bones, feathers, pieces of
calf and sheep skin being strewn
around. The passages grew smaller
and dwindled, and no one of tho
party would enter alone, though one,
Joe Smith, went thirty or forty
feet, when the most unearthly yell
that men ever heard greeted them.
They were good, stout men, but they
cowed before that yell, and beat a
hasty retreat to the main passage of
the cavern, but after consultation
they agreed it would not do to kill
or be killed, and they gave up their
search for another time.
The men brought two bludgeons
from the cave with them that showed
considerable handling and resembled
an Indian war club. Another party
will make a survey of the cave in an
effort to capture the monster. In
the meantime women and children
are staying Indoors in that neighbor-
hood. The men built a great heap
of brush and wood, and tried to
smoke lain out, but could not.

Nature In
Unless there are counteracting in-
the natural tendency of
rail is to downward, obey-
the well-known laws of gravity.
If, however, says the Charleston
News and Courier, the grade is too
slight to give much effect to this
law, and, in fact, so slight as to re-
quire the use of steam in the hand-
ling of descending trains, this
tendency may be minimized, and,
indeed, overcome and reversed, by a
constant draft of loads in the
of Its descent. Heavy loads
pulling constantly in one direction
have a tendency to drive the rail in
the opposite direction. Should it be

perfectly level track the rail almost
Invariably in the opposite
direction from the movement of the
heaviest and most constant traffic,
except at points where It is custom-
to shut off and apply the brakes,
at which the is in the same
direction.
On roads having grades which
change abruptly from ascending to
descending grades over the crown
of a hill it often happens that the
rails up grade on both sides
of the crown, and this is especially
true where long, heavy trains
run, as the heavy pulling of the en-
after has passed the crown
going down grade causes it to drive
the rail upward on the one side,
while the rear of the train has some-
what the tendency to pull or at
least to hold the rail on the opposite
ascent. One rail often
faster than tho other; this is not
confined to the east rail or the west
rail, the north or the south. It Is
due to a variety o causes, and to
none perhaps than to the fact
that there is a difference, and often
a peculiarity, in humanity.
There are in railroad parlance
what are known as a and a
roil. In nine cases out of
ten the rail gets the most at-
from the foreman in charge,
in addition two men usually
selected to tho bolts on
joints, one of whom is generally the
most trusted man in the
The other works under him. Al-
most Invariably this trusted man
gets on the rail, and thus it
will be seen that the joints and bolts
are kept in better shape on one rail
than on tho other, and are, there-
fore, more capable of resisting the
tendency to This habit
among of adopting a pet

man nature; barbers have somewhat
